Summer Rental Program

2020 Summer Rental Program Overview

The Hillsborough Board of Education is once again offering students in grades 5-11 the opportunity to rent their district issued Chromebook over the summer at a significantly reduced rate from last year. Families who choose to rent the devices will be able to keep them all summer, from June 17th through the first day of school on September 3, 2020.

The summer rental fee has been reduced this year to $25 and includes a Summer Rental Protection Plan that covers the Chromebook between June 17, 2020, and September 3, 2020. The Summer Rental Protection Plan covers repair and replacement costs if the device is accidentally broken, damaged, or stolen over the summer.

Details of the Summer Rental Program

Students who rent the device will be able to continue to use their HTPS accounts on the device. The Chromebook will remain filtered using the district’s Internet filtering solutions and restrictions; however, parents should be aware that no system is perfect and students should be regularly monitored when using any Internet-connected technology device. Should any Chromebook issues occur over the summer, families will be able to request an appointment to bring the device in for repair service over the summer.

The summer rental fee is non-transferable and non-refundable. The device remains the property of the Hillsborough Board of Education, and, if your child withdraws or transfers from the Hillsborough Township Public School District over the summer and/or into the fall for any reason, the device must be returned to the district immediately.

The cost of the summer rental is: $25

The Summer Rental Protection Plan does NOT cover misuse, neglect, or intentional damage. Students will be responsible for the entire cost of repairs or replacement to devices damaged through student misuse, neglect, or intentional damage.
The Summer Rental Protection Plan covers accidental damages to power adapters and any loaner devices that are issued to the student in the event that their Chromebook is under repair.
The Summer Rental Protection Plan only covers stolen devices if an official police report is submitted indicating the details of the theft.
The Summer Rental Protection Plan does NOT cover lost devices, protective cases, or chargers. In the event the device is lost then the family would be responsible for the full replacement cost of the device.
The Summer Rental Protection Plan covers TWO separate damage incidents over the summer only; any costs associated with additional damages after two incidents are the responsibility of the family.
The Summer Rental Fee and the Summer Rental Protection Plan are not transferable or refundable at anytime. The Summer Rental Protection plan covers the device from June 17, 2020, through September 3, 2020, and may not be carried into the school year.

We will confirm receipt and activation of the plan through the Genesis Parent Portal.
